Frenchic Chalk Furniture Paint - Blackjack is designed for easy application across a variety of interior surfaces, including furniture, kitchen cupboards, trim, and doors. Its self-levelling properties contribute to a smooth, matte finish that adds a sophisticated touch to any item. A single 750ml tin can cover up to 12.5m² with one coat, but for optimal durability and richness of color, it is crucial to apply a minimum of two coats, which will provide full coverage for approximately 6m² on non-porous surfaces. For porous materials, additional coats may be necessary to achieve the desired opacity and longevity. The paint's low odour and water-based composition make for a comfortable painting experience, ideal for use in homes.
Prepare the Surface: Ensure the surface is clean, dry, and free of dirt, dust, or grease. For glossy or previously varnished surfaces, a light sand can help create a better key for adhesion, though simple prep is generally sufficient.
Stir Well: Thoroughly stir the paint before use to ensure consistent color and texture.
Intermix Tins (if applicable): If using more than one tin of the same color for a large project, it is good practice to intermix the batches prior to commencing painting to ensure perfect color consistency.
Apply Coats: Apply an even coat of paint. Allow adequate drying time between coats. A minimum of two coats is recommended for a durable finish.
Blackjack is highly versatile for interior use, specifically recommended for furniture. It's also suitable for interior wood work, trims, skirting, doors, kitchen cupboards, and built-in furniture, on both wood and laminate surfaces. Its EN71-3 certification means it's safe for children's toys, making it an excellent choice for nurseries or playrooms.
Once fully cured, surfaces painted with Blackjack can be cleaned with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid harsh abrasive cleaners or excessive scrubbing, as this can dull the matte finish or compromise the paint's integrity.
